Lucas Vazquez's time at Real Madrid seems to be coming to an end as Los Blancos need to recoup funds after spending out on a series of signings at the start of the summer transfer window.
The Galician winger has performed beyond expectation since returning to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu after a successful season-long loan spell at Espanyol in 2014/15, and he has been essential for all of his coaches, most notably Zinedine Zidane, who has brought the best out of him.
Change to his situation
The issue for Lucas Vazquez is that the arrivals of Eden Hazard and Rodrygo Goes, in addition to the presence of Vinicius Junior and Marco Asensio, will see his game time diminish significantly.
What those in charge at Real Madrid are clear about is that Lucas Vazquez will not be sold for less than 30 million euros. His contract with Los Blancos runs until 2021 and his release clause is 150m euros, while the clubs of note who are interested in the player are Inter and Arsenal, with the Gunners having made the first step towards signing him.
Arsenal are determined to bring him to north London and are ready to make an irresistible offer to the winger, which would see him double his wages.
Lucas Vazquez does not want to rush and would prefer to wait before making a definitive decision. For the time being, he plans to travel to Montreal with the rest of the Real Madrid squad and once he has spoken with Zidane, he will decide which situation suits him best.
